Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: audacity
cut and paste operations appear to be affecting unselected tracks. for
example, if i have a project with four tracks and i select part of the
first one only and then cut that selected audio (using ctrl+x or the
menu), the same timespan is cut from the other three tracks. if i copy a
selection of audio from one project and paste it at the beginning of an
empty track in another project, a silence of length equal to the
clipboard is inserted at the beginning of all the other tracks.
i have not seen this behavior in any build of audacity before, going
back at least five years. although there are undesirable workarounds for
some aspects of the bug (such as using "split cut" instead of "cut" and
then manually realigning the region), this behavior makes editing multi-
track projects in any nontrivial way essentially impossible.
i am able to reproduce the same behavior regardless of whether i am
using pulseaudio or addressing the ALSA driver directly. i am able to
reproduce the same behavior after moving all ~/.audacity* out of the way
and allowing audacity to create them anew.
